I loved shooting decor for the extremely talented ladies of Leipzig. It was for an easter feature for The Pretty Blog. (See their post on this shoot HERE) The table was set in the beautiful Stellenbosch venue, Landtscap.

Enjoy the post and creativity of the Leipzig team!

Louise and Eben had such a beautiful wedding. Yes, i loved the decor, the location and attention to small detail….but they WANTED to get married. They welcomed God into their marriage and loved sharing the special day with each other, family and friends.

Dankie Eben en Louise. Dis was vir my ‘n voorreg om in julle dag te kon deel. xxx

Dit was vir my so ‘n voorreg om Pierre en Hanli se troue te kon afneem. Hanli het die mooiste en sagste hart en het op ‘n plaas, nie ver my ons s’n, groot geword. Hulle het besluit op ‘n oggend troue en almal het so lekker en rustig saam gekuier die res van die dag, terwyl ‘n 6-gang maaltyd geniet is.

Dankie Pierre en Hanli! Julle sal altyd ‘n spesiale plekkie in my hart hê. Geniet julle post!!!

 (Ek het die kinders by die troue sooo baie geniet! Kyk net daardie gesiggie!!!)

Two AWESOME and CARING people  will become their own family soon …and I love it!

We spend the afternoon photographing on the farm where I live and the “tea” after the shoot turned into a late night “kuier” with very unplanned egg and toast for supper.

Dankie vir ‘n heerlike shoot en kuier Conrad en Esti en ek bid julle baie lekkertes en blessings toe met julle baba wat oppad is. (Ek nou nogal self nuuskierig of dit ‘n seuntjie of dogtertjie is! Time will tell né.)

I saw a post on Facebook today that Special Events‘ Shop in Stellenbosch is almost one year old! I did a shoot at their shop opening and never got to blog it. Now, a year later I blog, because…

- I love the Special Events Shop!

- i often photograph weddings that has props / rentals from them.

- because they are such awesome, easy-to-work-with people (they have been doing it for a few years already)

- they were the master planners behind my 30th bday party (see images HERE)

- i always am looking for a chance to share photos (:

- if you are looking for a helping hand at your wedding, they can be very helpful! (they do wedding planning, decor and flowers, rental etc and recently did the flowers for Karlien van Jaarsveld’s wedding)

Contact Special Events team: Website Address or go like them in their Fabeook page

Magriet is a dr at a local hospital in the premature ward and asked if i would be interested in taking some images for them. I did not have to think twice -I LOVE documenting! I wish I could go in every day for a month or two to see these specific little babies grow and develop . It truly was an eye opener to see with what love and dedication these doctors and mothers help these tiny humans to grow gram for gram.

One of the methods they use to help these babies grow, “kangaroo care”: This is soooooo interesting – read more about it HERE. Some of these mothers has to stay with their babies in hospital for months, so they can grow up to 1.8kg, when they are finally big enough to go home. They are truly little fighters and this experience makes me want to see/experience / document more. And them of coarse share what i’ve seen. (:

Thanks to Magriet for getting written permission from all the parents of these babies to photograph them.

Enjoy!
